Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Pecans (chopped)
• 1 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Molasses
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Crystallized ginger (finely chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped pecans, and unsweetened coconut flakes.

Step 3

Add the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt to the oat mixture. Stir until the dry ingredients are well-distributed.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the molasses, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Stir until smooth and slightly warmed, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and toss until everything is evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.

Step 7

Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye during the last few minutes to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.

Step 9

Once cooled, stir in the finely chopped crystallized ginger.

Step 10

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Serve with milk, over yogurt, or enjoy as a snack!
